I run Caldari Logi with (usually) a Tac-AR. I'm a horrible person, I know.
It's not my fault that CCP made 2 Logi suits with a racial bonus that actually helps us do our job. Gallente's is a somewhat close second, but the best equipment in the world doesn't matter if they're dead, so I went with the tank bonus. But considering the very high PG/CPU requirements of properly fitting a Logi, and the fact that CCP nerfed all the equipment skills (they used to lower fitting reqs iirc), Gallente's bonus is definitely useful. Or it would be for me, at least. But the tank bonus is invaluable, considering that logi's are a prime target, and the fact that using an Injector means potentially exposing yourself for up to ten seconds. Not to mention I often have to use my own body to shield the person I just stabbed from the useless sniper up in the hills looking for the only kill he's capable of getting. Meanwhile of course I'm repping the newly revived merc and hoping he's actually bothering to move to cover. So yeah that racial bonus is invaluable for simply accomplishing my job.
As for the AR, I have to kill people. Often. It's far more useful for me to be shooting the reddots during a firefight and repping up afterwards. DPS far exceeds a rep tool's output. Both my DPS and theirs. I also have to make sure nearby enemies are cleaned up or hiding before I pull out the Injector. Now with no sidearm to cover my gun's weakness, do you REALLY think I'm going to use a specialized weapon with significant drawbacks or am I going to use the most versatile weapon I can fit? Seriously there's so many people on these forums that ***** about never getting heals or revives, then turn around and QQ when a Logi kills them b/c they think we should be free kills. Quite frankly, most of the people I kill would have died regardless of which AR I was using. Hell I probably could have used a pistol. They were either looking the wrong way, had ****** aim (or even worse than mine at least), or just playing stupidly. But when I need the AR I want the thing around.
And as for people fitting Logi's to be a pure killer (especially the Caldari QQ magnet), so? There are multiple tools for destroying shields in seconds. If you're too stubborn to use any of them and simply want CCP to do it for you, that's your own damn fault. I promise if people REALLY thought the Caldari shield suits were taking over the world, they'd be carrying Flux grenades more often. But it's not actually THAT big of a problem, apparently, since I don't see them nearly as often as Locus. Hell, I run Flux myself. That or AV, depending on the map and how things are going.
And the other issue regarding the killer bees is that, frankly, the Assault racials suck, with the possible exception of the Amarr's (buff LR range by the way). If you're looking through the assault suit bonuses as I did, and see that none of them looks all that great or even useful, THAT'S A PROBLEM. It's likely MOST of the problem.
W/E though, I'm finished. |
